Irakli Pavlenishvili: The Georgian Dream’s propaganda, with its so-called lawsuit based on the findings of Tsulukiani’s Commission of Treason, will be shattered just as it has been in recent weeks, and will continue to be in the weeks ahead
The Georgian Dream’s propaganda, with its so-called lawsuit based on the completely absurd findings of Tsulukiani’s Commission of Treason, was debunked in recent weeks and will be equally discredited in the weeks ahead, Irakli Pavlenishvili, Chairman of the Governing Council of the United National Movement (UNM), has stated.
He also said that, most importantly, they had managed to show the public the historical context, highlighting the achievements Georgia made under the United National Movement and how far the country had regressed under the Georgian Dream.
“The Georgian Dream’s propaganda, with its so-called lawsuit based on the completely absurd findings of Tsulukiani’s Commission of Treason, was debunked in recent weeks and will be equally discredited in the weeks ahead, and the Georgian people will witness this.
As for our legal plans, of course, we intend to appeal the Constitutional Court’s decision before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. There is a strong expectation that the court will deliver the decision Ivanishvili wants.
The political struggle in this country will undoubtedly continue, because people are facing the threat of years in prison and have had their property seized, yet they continue to fight. Therefore, another repressive measure will not be able to stop this struggle.
Last week, we not only exposed their propaganda but also completely dismantled it. We saw the public’s reaction on social media, including to the absurd cases presented in the findings of Tsulukiani’s Commission, as well as the so-called ‘victims’ who recounted completely unreasonable and absurd stories, all of which were included in the Commission’s own findings.
It is also important that we presented the historical context, showing the achievements Georgia made under the United National Movement and the steps backwards taken under the Georgian Dream. I believe that Georgian society has clearly seen everything, and I firmly believe that through this process, the Georgian Dream’s propaganda has been completely discredited,” Pavlenishvili stated.
Asked whether the United National Movement would participate in the protest rally announced by the Opposition Alliance for November 28, Pavlenishvili said that the event was not an exclusively political rally organised by any particular group and that everyone intended to take part.
“The November 28 protest rally is not limited to the Alliance; it is not an exclusively political event organised by any particular group. It is a rally involving all political and civil society actors who have been engaged in resistance since November 28.
We are actively involved, many of our members are in prison, and the United National Movement is at the forefront of the struggle. We all intend to participate on November 28, not just one particular group. We are ready to coordinate and engage in dialogue with any group,” Irakli Pavlenishvili stated.
